How on earth are you going to map a particular spot in the code without access to the sources? I'd love you to explain how hunting kernel bugs is easier on win

How on earth are you going to map a particular spot in the code without access to the sources?
I'd love you to explain how hunting kernel bugs is easier on windows.
- quotemstr 5y agoMicrosoft publishes symbols that you can use to decode kernel crashes. The availability of source code isn't my point though: the point is that parsing text debug dumps is stone age crap and we should move to a model where crashes produce self-describing crash dumps that users can load into debuggers that find all relevant metadata automatically. You shouldn't have to puzzle over the meaning of each register in the x86_64 to figure out what value a function parameter had at crash time
